It's snowing like crazy outside.  When I drove home from work tonight I had a little fantasy of having tomorrow off due to snow.  I stopped at the grocery store and purchased the makings for borscht.  By about this time every year, I need to have some borscht - after all the candy and breads and other non-vegetables.  At about 7:30, it was ready and I had a bowl.  It was good. 
This morning I found myself in a foul mood.  I was waiting for word about my interview last week and the results from my MRI.  Both of them impact my future plans.  I got the MRI results later today.  No stress fracture - that is the good news.  The bad news is that I still have no idea the hell is  the matter with my foot.  The doc said "rest."  Yeah, right doc, you will really think that's a good idea when I show up weighing 300 lbs. 
I wrote my coach and she suggested I try minimalist shoes.  I will do that.  I will go out on Saturday morning (weather permitting) and do a few miles.  I cannot sit for the rest of my life.  Spinning and swimming are just not doing it for me. 
I still haven't heard about the job - and have since decided that I don't really want it.  I am dreading the phone call.  Dreading. 
I am extremely tired and need to go to bed. 
I can say that I am grateful that I am sober and able to face whatever the future holds - with God's help.

It occurs to me that "rest" doesn't have to mean, "the rest of your life". People can rest their feet for a week, or even a month, and not give up on running until they meet St. Peter. ;)
Take it easy, MC. I don't think that it would hurt to stay off the foot for a bit. I worry about your doing too much.
Hmm, Dr. says "rest", coach says "go shoe shopping."
I love borscht too! Each winter I make borscht with sour cream in a huge white soup tureen.
I hope your foot heals Mary Christine, whatever the problem.
Shoe shopping, how is it that we women find so often that shoe shopping is the answer? LOL
I hope the shoes do help!

I think the shoe thing is a good idea. I think resting your foot for just a couple of weeks might really help. Think of how many things you could knit in a couple of weeks!
I have no idea what borscht is.
I can't wait to hear what the job phone call brings.
I've already rested it for two weeks. And I am only going to walk 3 miles on Saturday. It is just frustrating.
I'm sorry you didn't get a clear diagnosis on the foot. That can be very frustrating, especially when you enjoy exercising. You just want to know what you're dealing with...Hang in there!
